@acancello Yesss, the Little Women trilogy is the best! I actually thought Jo’s Boys was another name for Little Men the first time I saw it and didn’t pick it up because of that. XD I know I’m probably not supposed to ask this question, but I’m going to anyhow. 😇 Do you have a favorite of those three?

Also, have you ever read any of Jennifer…[Read more]

*sneaks in with confetti* I am horrid at titles, but – @light-warrior-pen! Congrats! *throws confetti and offers cake* That’s a huge accomplishment. Fantastic work! 🥳 *slinks back away from title talk*

“Misery, misery! Readers won’t kill us, nice readers-“

Adapted Gollum quotes aside, I think you can outrage your readers without cheating them. Both can happen in a character’s death, and cheated readers very often are outraged. 😛 But you can reasonably outrage a reader without them feeling cheated.

If you truly build up your character (and it…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin That sketch is amazing! 😍 How long have you been drawing?

@light-warrior-pen I like novels, but short stories are quicker and easier to finish, lol.

@sarafini I’m studying computer science right now, haha. Very different from most things. Depends on which starving artist talk, lol. I’m literally in CS in order to make a living one day, so… To be honest, I don’t know if I’ve been more burned out from writing or from work, but I’m trying to find a balance…kind of hard. But in ten years I…[Read more]

@light-warrior-pen Nice to meet you! Not much to say about myself; I’m Lin, I’m a college kid, and my back hurts. Anyways.

I know others above me have already asked, but what are you currently working on? Do you prefer novels or short stories? Etc. Anyways. Welcome to the Kingdom!

@sarafini I’m in college right now studying something else so I don’t really have time to fully commit to something like that, lol. Plus I think they expect me to go right into the workforce afterwards so idk if there will ever be a chance for that, haha. Plus it seems expensive.

Aw, I’m glad you have time to write! I’m hoping things will get…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Hehe but this math course is honestly more enjoyable than a lot of the other courses I’m in, haha.

And no, my life isn’t going well. I hope yours is though!

@freedomwriter76 Hahaha. There’s more algebra than I expected but yeah, it’s one of the main reasons I’ve been gone from the forum for the past few months.

@lydia-s Whoa, that’s awesome! I was debating on joining the Conservatory, haha, but my parents would kill me. Your novel sounds really cool; would love to read it one day!

I’m currently…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Thank you! Yep! Ah, cool! I’ve never seen The Last Airbender. I should give it a try. 😉 Um, I guess, lol. I’m not sure but it sounds like it. XD Ooh, that’s cool! I bet it was fun!

So, the powers are hereditary. And because there is a lot of prejudice and hate between each country, families have stayed in the same country for…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Girl, I love that the magic in your story comes from God. That’s how I’m doing it in my story as well. 😀 It’s almost as if exploring the question, “What if God created the world to work and be like this?” Anyway, I love how you’re doing it in your story world and magic system!

@esther-c

Wow, that’s so cool that you have a…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom Cool forum topic!

Your magic system sounds so cool!!! 😀 I love that it has a chemistry base//chemistry inspiration!

For my current fantasy novel, the magic system is kind of like “powers.” I guess a better way of putting that is that the characters have magical abilities. Depending on what country they’re from determines what…[Read more]

(Note: This is probably going to be long. XD)

I’m going to take a theological approach to this at the beginning. Scripture says two things on the state of man: (1) Man was created in the image of God, as seen in Genesis 1:27, and (2) man has fallen short of the glory of God and no longer upholds that image as he should, as seen in Romans…[Read more]
